what is baby massage?

Baby massage is is an ancient tradition of providing gentle, rhythmic
stroking of your baby's body with your hands. Babies love to be touched
and need physical contact for healthy growth and development.

Massage is a wonderful opportunity to learn strokes and techniques
that will communicate a sense of love and security to your child along
with many physical benefits that support healthy development.

A regular routine of infant massage can offer additional benefits to
both the parent or caregiver and child. Nurturing touch promotes
physiological, neurological and psychological development and function,
helps soothe common discomforts, aids restful sleep for the infant (and
in turn the caregivers), and increases healthy attachment and bonding.

The soothing strokes of your hands stimulate the production of the
feel-good hormone oxytocin in you and your baby. Oxytocin is the hormone
that gives you that warm, loving feeling when you hold your baby close
or breastfeed. When oxytocin floods your body, it helps you and your
baby to form a close bond.

In addition to the many physical benefits, massage can become a
regular time for parents to check in with baby, alerting them to subtle
changes in baby's health, and encouraging parents to communicate with
baby in a language they understand - touch. If massage is a regular
scheduled time of the day, it can also result in precious relaxation
time for both parent and child.
